Jon Gruden goes back to high school

Former Bucs coach Jon Gruden is going back to high school and ESPN is showing it. Gruden is working part-time as an offensive line coach at Carrollwood Day School in Tampa. (Gruden's son, Duece, is the team's quarterback and strong safety.) ESPN recently followed Gruden during Carrollwood Day's practices and is running a three-part special on SportsCenter. The segments will run Sunday, Monday and Tuesday during the nightly SportsCenter broadcasts. I've seen a preview of it, and it's pretty typical Gruden, minus the salty language. But typical Gruden is highly entertaining, particularly one segment when he praises a blocking sled for stopping a couple of offensive lineman.
